If you don't want to sacrifice performance, the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xa 1526 is a good compromise between a desktop and a laptop. It will rival desktops for gaming and running video applications and has a spacious keyboard if you do need to do any work on it Read more

HP Compaq 6735s review

Whether its sober design will appeal depends on your tastes, but there's no denying that the 15.4-inch Compaq 6735s is a well-built machine. Its full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on, the matte finish on the screen means it's legible in all lighting conditions, and it's a capable performer too Read more

Acer Aspire 5536 review

Proving that desktop-replacement laptops needn't be the size of a headstone, the 15.6-inch Aspire 5536 is a decent machine. Its trackpad is irritating and its speakers aren't much cop, but it offers a full-size, comfortable keyboard, bright screen and good looks for an affordable price Read more

Asus W5000 review

Style-conscious bohemians who want to steer away from the bland offerings of most laptop manufacturers will find the Asus W5000 appeals to their all-white tastes. It offers reasonable -- if unspectacular -- performance and battery life, and a cool little Webcam that pivots above the screen Read more

Acer Ferrari 5000 review

This is a premium laptop with an AMD (also a Ferrari sponsor) processor -- the Ferrari brand pushes the performance angle, which is a useful excuse to push up the price. That demands a high specification, so Acer has loaded it with features, including a high-resolution display, loads of memory and decent graphics Read more

The Acer Aspire Ethos 5943G will make a serious dent in your wallet, but its speedy processor and fast graphics chip deliver top-class performance, although its screen is disappointing. Read more

Toshiba Satellite A660-15T review

The configuration of the Toshiba Satellite A660 that we reviewed, the A660-15T, has its flaws, but it's a great all-rounder nevertheless. Although its 16-inch screen could be more vivid, it offers strong performance, a carefully crafted design, and a great keyboard and trackpad Read more
